Natural Dyes, Making a Sustainable Studio   

Students will explore the art and nature of using plant-based materials to create vibrant, eco-friendly dyes. Over consecutive classes, participants will learn the fundamentals of scouring, mordanting, and dyeing various fibers with natural materials like turmeric, avocado pits, and cochineal. The course will include hands-on activities such as immersion dyeing, shibori resist techniques, and eco-printing, with a focus on sustainable practices and the history behind each dye source. By the end of the course, students will have a deeper understanding of natural dyes, how to apply them creatively, and how to integrate sustainable studio practices into their work.
